It Was a “Pig” Comment

The buzz all over the radio on the way home from work this evening was about Sen. Barack Obama’s “lipstick” comment from yesterday. The headlines on all the major news web sites were also about a “lipstick” comment.

Folks, it was a “pig” comment!

Sen. Obama, he so sure he’s the most cunning linguist (always wanted to use that phrase legitimately in a sentence) in the room, was just a little too clever with his words when he used the tired “lipstick on a pig” phrase. Sen. Obama was definitely trying to conjure the image of Gov. Palin as a pig. The crowd that roared after Sen. Obama’s insult loved the red meat. The video is undeniable.

The sorry explanation by the Obama campaign that Sen. McCain used the “lipstick” expression years ago to deride legislation being promoted by Sen. Hillary Clinton is not a defense as Sen. McCain WAS describing the legislation exactly as the Obama campaign says Sen. McCain was. And, a few days before Sen. McCain’s use of the phrase, Sen. Clinton did not use the word “lipstick” in a memorable quote.

Sen. Obama’s vicious personal attack on Gov. Palin is not surprising, though, as his campaign is imploding.

Daily now, the top of the Democratic Party’s ticket is attacking the bottom of the Republican Party’s ticket. That's un-presidential.

I only watched part of Bill O’Reilly’s interview with Sen. Obama but I saw enough to conclude Sen. Obama really is so un-presidential. Sen. Obama could not sit back in his chair and address challenges like a grown-up. Instead, like a 10 year-old protesting with his Dad, Sen. Obama, on the edge of his chair, kept raising his hand before O’Reilly’s face to get him to stop talking. All the while stammering, “Wait. Wait a minute. Hold on. Wait. Wait a minute, Bill.” That’s how he’s going to command respect in the Oval? God save us.

Sen. Obama is imploding despite the extraordinary help he’s getting from my (news)paper, the Boston Globe, and I'm sure hundreds of liberal (news)papers across the country.

My headline today: “US will boost its Afghan force”. The sub-headline is “Move tied to pullot of 8,000 from Iraq”. I’m not kidding, just to make sure everyone gets the liberally extreme point but who is too intellectually lazy to read the article, there is a second sub-headline. Are you ready for this? “Troop strength will equal pre-surge level”. Nowhere does the reader learn that President Bush is “withdrawing” troops from Iraq.

A second major story on the front page carries the headline “Obama outlines broad plan for US education”. Broad? Why does Sen. Obama pay a communications team when he has the liberal media?

What’s funny in the education article is that Sen. Obama paints a “dismal picture of the state of American education”. I have no idea who Sen. Obama thinks has had a stranglehold on the American education system for the last 50 years.

Not too long ago, I researched what would happen if the Electoral College tied at 269 – 269. Starting with the 2004 results, the change of just a few toss-up states could have provided such a result. Today, I toyed with an Electoral College map and, contemplating the Palin surge and the Obama implosion, I came up with a map of McCain 355 – Obama 183. The last state I had in Obama’s total was California with its 55 electoral votes. I’m not ready to change my 317 – 221 prediction but maybe soon.

Is Sen. Joe Biden always so angry?

I agree it was a "pig" comment. Not only was the big O offensive, did you see how out of it he was? He couldn't seem to make a coherent sentence or thought. I think Palin has rocked his world.

"Pig" was a derogatory comment. He knows its slipping away.

Sen. Biden is a proven plagiarist. He's angry because he got caught. Think Clinton being deposed about cigars and oral sex.
